The Route Powertrain

Introducing the WrightspeedRoute™ Powertrain

The Wrightspeed Route™ is a Range-extended Electric Vehicle (REV) replacement powertrain that can be customized to fit a variety of today’s heavy-duty truck platforms, replacing both the engine and the transmission.

Advantages of the Wrightspeed Route™ Powertrain

The Wrightspeed Route™ electric powertrain drives more low-end torque to the wheels than conventional diesel engines, with less fuel, less emissions, and less noise. Our on-board turbine generator, the Fulcrum™, eliminates range anxiety.

The Wrightspeed Route™ offers the greatest benefits in frequent-stop heavy-duty applications, such as refuse trucks, delivery vehicles, or buses. Since traditional piston combustion engines are least efficient when starting and stopping, the Wrightspeed system can achieve improvements as great as:

Up to 67% reduction in fuel consumption

Up to 63% reduction in emissions

Up to $25,000 reduction in annual maintenance

Anticipated benefits will vary for each specific duty cycle. Contact us to learn more.

Route™ Powertrain Packages

All of the Route™ powertrain configurations are built on the same modular platform utilizing the compact and lightweight Geared Traction Drive (GTD™), the Fulcrum™ range-extending on-board generator, scalable high-power battery packs, a plug-in charger, and our patented Vehicle Dynamics Control System (VDCS).

Route™ 250

Route™ 250

The Route™ 250 powers urban or suburban delivery and is especially suited to hilly routes. Keeping schedule is critical, so the on-board range extending turbine generator, the Fulcrum™, will burn the fuel that works for you: diesel, CNG, LNG, gasoline, even biogas.

Route™ 1000

Route™ 1000

The refuse truck application is one of the most demanding duty cycles due to frequent stop and start with heavy loads. The Route™ 1000 can handle it. Brake wear is virtually eliminated by a regenerative braking system optimized for high power, and the on-board turbine range extending generator runs quieter than a diesel engine, as well as much cleaner.
